上海住宅价格的解释——基于自回归均值回复模型的分析

使用1998年1月至2013年7月间月度上海住宅价格指数,采用自回归均值回复模型（ARMR）,尝试对上海住宅价格进行解释。模型效果测试表明模型与实际住宅价格指数之间匹配良好。上海房价均衡月度增长率为0．77％;自回归系数显示43％的前两个月增长率将持续到当月;均值回复系数表明如果上月房价高出（低于）均衡水平1个百分点,下月房价增长率将下降（增加）大约0．022个百分点。     

我国新建住宅长期供给价格弹性估算——基于35个大中城市的实证研究

大多数住宅模型和政策分析,都直接或间接依赖于住宅供给价格弹性的估计值：为了应对市场需求冲击,是多供给住房还是提高住宅价格？基于Mayo（1981）构建的模型,估算了我国35个主要大中型城市的新建住宅供给价格弹性。根据流量模型,2000-2007年我国的新建住宅价格弹性系数在4-11之间,2008到2013年的价格弹性在5-13之间。而存量调整模型得到了截然不同的估算结果：2008-2013年我国的新建住宅供给价格弹性在1-6之间,更精确的估算出了我国新建住宅供给市场的价格弹性。     

Hedonic house prices and spatial quantile regression

Despite its long history, hedonic pricing for housing valuation remains an active research area, and applications of new estimation methods continually push research frontiers. However, housing studies regarding Chinese cities are limited because of the short history of China’s free housing market. Such studies may, nonetheless, provide new insights given the nation’s current transitional stage of economic development. Therefore, this research makes use of publicly accessible sources to construct a new micro-dataset for an emerging Chinese city, Changsha, and it incorporates quantile regression with spatial econometric modeling to examine how implicit prices of housing characteristics may vary across the conditional distribution of house prices. Substantial variations are found, and the intuitions and implications are discussed. Additionally, the spatial dependence exhibits a U-shape pattern. The dependence is strong in the upper and lower parts of the response distribution, but it is little in the medium range.     

中国城市软实力对住房价格的影响——基于主成分分析法和面板数据模型

在采用主成分分析法合成软实力综合指标构建了两阶段回归模型,运用面板数据GMM估计方法就软实力对房价的影响进行估计后发现,中国35个大中城市的软实力对城市房价均具有显著的正向作用,且这种影响从东部到西部呈现出逐渐减弱的态势。也就是说,在全国范围内,城市软实力对房价均具有显著的正向影响,且不同地区的城市软实力对房价的作用程度有所差别。由此可见,城市的人文社会因素、生态环境质量、交通区位条件对城市商品房价格的影响较为显著,对城市软实力的日益重视决定着中国城市人口的居住选择。     

城市居民住房购买力研究——以我国35个大城市为例

针对近年来我国房价高企,住房负担日益加重,不同地区居民购房能力差异较大等问题,分析了现有居民住房购买力测算方法,将住房价格与居民收入、消费水平、区域发展水平、住房市场的供应结构、信贷水平等因素结合起来,提出了新的测算思路和方法,并以我国35个大城市为例,对2009年城市居民住房购买力进行了实证研究。通过不同地区城市居民的住房购买能力的比较,分析城市居民购房能力的区域不均衡性问题,为制定相关住房政策提供参考。     

Estimating household demand for housing attributes in rent-controlled markets

We estimate the household’s marginal willingness to pay for housing attributes in the rent-controlled sector, so where rents are not freely market determined. The application of hedonic price approaches to obtain estimates of the household’s value of housing characteristics is then invalid. We apply an alternative estimation approach based on residential mobility. In our application, we focus on the households’ willingness to pay for number of rooms as well as the willingness to pay to avoid a long commuting distance. Our estimates appear plausible. For example, for households in the rent-controlled sector are willing to pay about 7% of their household income for an additional room. The implied marginal costs of commuting are about €0.17–€0.23 per (one-way) kilometre.     

中国一线城市房地产市场辐射效应研究

近年来,我国城市房地产价格呈现出一线城市房价迅速攀升与全国城市房价普遍上涨的总体格局。本文运用空间变异VAR误差修正模型,实证分析一线城市对中西部城市房屋价格是否存在一定的辐射效应,同时厘清这种影响是正向的推动作用还是此消彼长的辐射影响,进而探讨如何在有效平抑一线城市过快上涨的房价,同时避免引起中西部城市房价可能出现的某种程度的上升,为促进房地产市场稳定健康发展提出相关政策建议。

新型城镇化背景下,随着城镇建设的大力推进和城镇人口的进一步增长,我国住房市场的发展稳定仍具有可持续的发展空间。从2013-2022年住房市场发展的预测分析看,今后住房市场在数量上保持规模发展的同时,重点在于质的发展。在宏观调控和新型城镇化发展目标指引下,房地产业必须进一步优化住宅供应结构,科学合理地制定新城开发规划,提高土地利用效率,稳步实现房地产业的转型发展,打造中国住房市场发展的“升级版”。     

Housing transactions and macroeconomic fluctuations: a case study of England and Wales

This paper focuses on the drivers for transactions of residential properties using England and Wales as a case study. We present a non-technical discussion of a theoretical framework that rationalizes the positive correlation of income, housing prices and housing transactions over the business cycle. We then extend the theoretical framework to explain how the credit market liberalization of the early 1980s, demographic changes and construction activity have affected the trend in housing transactions and contributed to making the 1980s a period of exceptionally high transaction levels in England and Wales. We present evidence in support of the view that housing demand fluctuations have been the key driver of housing transactions, in particular, changes in housing demand from first-time buyers.     

MARKET INDUCED AND GOVERNMENT MANDATED ENERGY CONSERVATION IN THE HOUSING MARKET: Econometric Evidence from the U.S.

This paper integrates and compares me results of two large-scale econometric analyses of the effects of residential energy prices upon the U.S. housing market. A simple model of energy consumption in the housing market is developed, and the results of these studies are compared with the common model. The two studies, using very different bodies of data and very different econometric techniques, yield very similar implications in terms of household expenditures and patterns of consumption. In particular, both studies confirm the importance of "natural conservation" in the housing market. Higher energy prices lead to substantially lower consumption of residential energy, even in the absence of regulation. In particular, it is estimated that a doubling of energy prices leads to a reduction of residential energy consumption of about twenty-five percent.     

Patterns of growth in Chinese cities: Implications of the land lease

A special feature of China’s housing market is land use rights in the form of land leasehold contracts granted by the government. We consider an equilibrium model in which a representative developer may choose to redevelop existing centrally located housing or to develop new housing at the periphery of the city. We show that as the city grows, the land leasehold system results in the city center being developed less intensely and more land being used on the outskirts of the city when compared to a fee simple environment. Thus, cities in China are likely to be relatively more spread out, with city centers relatively older than would be the case with “fee simple” ownership. Our model suggests that excess residential land use is about 6 percent. In addition, compared with the ownership case, housing supply will grow more quickly in the near future, but more slowly later on during the transition of the Chinese economy. Parallel to the supply growth pattern, equilibrium price grows relative slowly in the near future, but more quickly later on. While we focus on residential uses, we believe our model can be applied to other land uses.     

The effect of economic policy uncertainty on China’s housing market

This study examines the relationship between economic policy uncertainty (EPU) and housing price at the macro-level in China as a developing country. The empirical evidence indicates that EPU has a leading effect on China’s housing market. In general, the housing market is prosperous when economic policy is stable and there is a positive relationship between housing price variation and EPU, which means housing market risk grows under unstable economic policies in this developing economy. Moreover, economic policy variation affects low-amplitude changes in housing prices. A variation of policy uncertainty enhances the risk premium of the housing market. By contrast, the level of EPU influences high-amplitude changes in housing prices, which reflects the trend of EPU dominating China's housing market.     

An empirical investigation of the effects of impact fees on housing and land markets

This paper presents the results from estimating the effects of development impact fees on the prices of new and existing single-family homes and undeveloped residential land using unique data for Dade County, FL. The results show that an additional US$1.00 of fees increases the price of both new and existing housing by about US$1.60 and reduces the price of land by about US$1.00. These findings are shown to be consistent with the new view but not the old view theory of impact fee incidence.     

基于向量自回归的存量住房房价租金比分析

1998年住房制度改革以来,房屋销售价格和租金均呈上涨趋势,但两者在增速上有明显的不同。本文基于动态Gordon模型,用一阶向量自回归的方法研究了8个城市房地产市场预期和非预期的房价租金比,结果表明向量自回归模型预测杭州、深圳、武汉、成都、北京的对数房价租金比效果较好,上海的房价租金比最不容易预测。未预料到的房价租金比的决定有明显的地区差异,西部地区的城市主要受租金流新信息的影响,长三角城市受收益率新信息的影响非常大,其他地区的城市主要受收益率新信息的影响。     

强化政府住房保障责任问题研究

从2000年房地产改革以来,我国房地产业有了突飞猛进的发展。但同时也存在着房地产价格不合理持续上涨、房地产投机性需求日益增加、市场运作不规范等突出矛盾和问题,对此国家也曾出台一系列的宏观调控政策。本文立足于强化政府住房保障责任的必要性,分析了政府住房保障责任淡化的表现及后果,并进一步提出通过强化政府住房保障责任,建立多层次住房保障制度的对策建议。     

新生代农民工住房保障的阙如与重构

新生代农民工怀抱着扎根城市的梦想,但是这种梦想却因为高房价、低收入以及政策限制等因素所引致的住房保障不足而可能成为一种奢望。在一定意义上,农民工住房保障的不足已经成为农民工市民化进程的"瓶颈"。故解决新生代农民工的住房问题,保障其基本居住权利,已是城市建设的当务之急。在总结各地实践经验的基础上,认为着力提高农民工的收入水平,进一步推动户籍改革以及将农民工纳入城镇住房保障体系,提供多渠道的住房服务等,是解决农民工市民化问题的根本。     

教育资本化视角下“学区房”空间布局研究——以天津市中心城区为例

当前各地积极推行义务教育学校“学区”制,旨在破解择校难题,追求公平教育。已有研究与实践经验表明学区制背景下教育资源“资本化”现象确实存在,并带来教育资源的内生性,强化了“学区房”空间分布的不均衡。基于此,阐述“学区房”内涵以及基础教育资本化实证经验,结合天津市中心城区“学区房”空间分布特征,探讨“学区房”不均衡分布的溢出效应,进而提出改善“学区房”不均衡布局的对策。     

The Auction Price of Apartments in Moscow: Hedonic Estimation in Disequilibrium1

The purpose of this paper is to see how economic factors determine prices in the previously communist countries undergoing privatization. This does not concern the auctions of big state enterprises where the prices are found to be rigged. In this paper we estimate hedonic price functions based on a unique data set on auction prices of apartments in Moscow. We collected the data ourselves by attending the auctions and gathered data on the characteristics. We estimated the hedonic equations using a disequilibrium approach because no equilibrium prices were observed for large number of apartments that were withdrawn from the auction. We found that, as the privatization of residential housing was carried out, the hedonic price equations fit the data remarkably well.     

List price and sales prices of residential properties during booms and busts

This paper investigates the relationship between the list and sale price of residential properties over the housing cycle. In down or normal markets the list price generally exceeds the sales price; however, when the housing market is strong, homes sell for more than their list price. This observation is not consistent with the assumptions made in the standard model of home sellers’ search behavior. We consider alternative models. In one, sellers set list prices based on their expectations of future changes in sales prices and the arrival rate of buyers; however, demand shocks occur. This model partially explains our data from the Belfast, U.K. housing market, but it fails to predict the list to sales price ratio during a sustained housing boom. We next describe a model where sellers’ endogenously select their search mechanism depending on the strength of the housing market. We find support for the conjecture that sellers switch to an auction-like model during housing booms. There also is evidence that during a downturn in the market, sellers’ list prices are sticky.
